Using ATEM Software Control
Switcher Control Panel
The software control panel has four main control windows: Switcher, Media, Audio and Camera.
You can open these windows by selecting the buttons at the bottom of the interface or by
pressing the Shift and left/right arrow hot keys. A general settings window can be opened by
selecting the gear icon at the lower left of the interface.
Switcher Panel
When first launched, the switcher screen is selected, which is the main control interface for the
switcher. The software control panel must be connected to a switcher to run.
Mouse or Trackpad Operation
The virtual buttons, sliders and fader bar on the software control panel are operated using your
computer mouse or a trackpad if you’re using a laptop.
To activate a button, click once with the left mouse button. To activate a slider, click and hold
down the left mouse button while dragging. Similarly, to control the fader bar, click and hold
down the left mouse button on the fader bar handle and drag up or down.
